I should hope few men alive around 1940-1950 would disagree there was a time when women decreed ‘was their right to change their mind – ‘tis the feminine prerogative (goodness there is true power and control). At that time and going forward women bitterly complained that men saw them as objects who should never get fat.Around 1960-1970 there was a concept called tender years, it was but a belief, but a belief widely held. Tender years held that to young children only the mother was important and the one best trained.

Increasing involvement of fathers in child welfare servicesResearch suggests that African American children in the child welfare system come frompredominately single parent households, the majority of which are headed by mothers.127Efforts to increase the involvement of fathers, especially non-custodial fathers, inprevention services may help stabilize these families so that further child welfare systeminvolvement is unnecessary. In addition, involving fathers expands the potential supportsfor the mother and child because of the father’s kin network. In general, there is verylittle research on the role of fathers in child welfare cases; and the existing research tends…

My name is Kristen S. White and I am a fourth year student at the
Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology. As part of a research
study I am conducting, I am looking for participants to complete an online
survey. To be eligible to participate, you must be at least 25 years old,
separated or divorced from your child(ren)'s other parent, divorced no more
than once, and your child(ren) were under age eighteen at the time of you
divorce.

All information that you share will be kept confidential and private. The
survey is available online and will take approximately 15 minutes to
complete. If you meet the participation criteria and are interested, please
click on the link below:

The intended benefit of this study is to better understand how divorced
parents might use their parenting plans as an effective tool to assist them
in coparenting after their family reconfigures into two families. While
there are no obvious anticipated risks to participation in this study, it is
foreseeable that some respondents may experience unexpected feelings or
distress as a result of responding to the questionnaire. Should you choose
to respond to the survey and experience distress, please contact me atkristen_white@ mspp.edu and I will assist you in finding a local facility or
clinician to help you manage your reaction to this study.
